Oh oh oh ! Or you can eat bon bons all day on the sofa and do tummy crunches so your hips and thighs get big !
That was my dad’s derogatory expression to eat bon bons all day. Old expression. I’m keeping close to the vest what I’m doing now.
Derogatory indeed. Can't just eat bon bons all day. He left out the sofa and tummy crunches to add that extra pow to your figure.
I am alone by choice. Insisting I need to be with someone is like someone disrespecting your gender. Lay off.
You are 'alone by choice' because by your own admission everyone most people* look ugly to you.
The OP even has you mentioning how you expect to end up with someone, which makes 'alone by choice' seem somewhat contradictory to me.She's a woman Nate. What they say and what they mean are 2 different things.
That's true for men too though...
In fact, I'd argue it's more true for men over how they feel like in the current culture that they can't express as much openly.
Will turn it on you: why do you think you’re single Nate (not that I really want to know)
Because I've been falling that much harder into my agoraphobic tendencies that otherwise were always there for the past few years. I am just fine with socializing once I'm in it, but alone I don't challenge myself insofar as putting myself out there. When with a partner they challenge me to be my best self, but while alone I am entirely unchallenged, and with it a near-complete lack of motivation. Even friends struggle to invite me over, like pulling teeth for them; It's my fault and self inflicted.
I have spent most of my life in relationships, this gap outside of one has been admittedly disturbing. I also can't drive, so that hinders a lot of potential opportunities.
What's your excuse?
Because I’d rather strive to accomplish something first than the sum total of my worth be measured by a relationship.
I never once implied one's value only comes from a relationship, other than as a personal point over my own success in the post above you.
What I have instead focused on is your idea that everyone most people* are ugly. Figure what sets that standard and then ask yourself how realistic that is, and more than likely, as a matter of sheer gambling odds, you are uglier than the current standard of perfection people often allude to as the only thing that's attractive.
Often the most attractive thing about a person is the familiarity you have with them.

Hello I said your mileage may vary. We obviously view the World in very different ways. You can throw it up there with Ugly; I also think a person’s worth is measured by what they accomplish (and not “hiding behind a relationship) Again YMMV!

Tell me about that; How do you view the world?
